Upgraded to Office X, now my excel spreadsheet is garbled... help!

[kasstle]

Hello,
I created and worked with an excel document for the last 4 years, and it's a very important document.
I upgraded my Powerbook G4 to Office X, and now when double click the document and try to open it, it's not in a recognized format, etc.

How can I get this document back? It's very, very important.

Talk slow and use simple words. I'm ... not high tech.

Thank you!
Kimberly

what was the old and the new version numbers you were using?

sometimes things are not always backward compatible very far back with certain types of excel documents
